How do you collect testimonials from your direct sales team remotely or online?

1 Why testimonials matter

Testimonials are not just nice words. They are social proof that your direct sales business works. They can help you attract more prospects, increase conversions, and build loyalty. Testimonials can also motivate your team members to perform better, as they see how others are succeeding and enjoying your business opportunity. Testimonials can also help you improve your products and services, as you learn what your customers like and dislike.

2 How to ask for testimonials

To collect testimonials from your direct sales team, start by asking for them. Reach out to your team members and request their feedback in various ways, such as sending an email or message with a simple question, creating a survey or form with specific questions, hosting a live or recorded video call or webinar, and offering an incentive or reward for submitting a testimonial. Doing so will help you gain valuable insights into your business and the impact it has had on your team members.

3 How to collect testimonials

In order to collect testimonials from your team members in an easy, convenient, and effective manner, there are various tools and platforms that can be utilized. For example, you can use email or messaging apps to receive written testimonials or attachments. Additionally, online survey or form tools such as Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, or Typeform can be used to create and share surveys or forms with team members and collect their responses in one place. Video conferencing or recording tools such as Zoom, Skype, or Loom can be used to record or download video testimonials. There is also testimonial software or apps like Boast, Trustpilot, or Testimonial Monkey that can help create and manage testimonial campaigns, collect and display them on websites or social media, and request and send reminders to team members.

4 How to use testimonials

The final step to grow your direct sales business is to use the testimonials from your team members. You can share them on your website or social media to showcase benefits and results of your products, services, and business opportunity. Alternatively, you could create a testimonial page or portfolio to display the testimonials in a more organized and professional way. You can also use the testimonials in marketing materials, such as flyers, brochures, emails, or presentations to highlight the success stories and best practices of their peers. Lastly, you could feature the testimonials in your training or coaching sessions to inspire and motivate your team members.
